Soil Stabilization in Jacksonville, NC

Soil stabilization involves improving the strength, durability, and load-bearing capacity of the soil beneath your property. Here’s how we approach the process:

Step 1: Soil Assessment

We begin by conducting a thorough analysis of the soil to determine:

• Its composition (clay, sand, silt, or loam).
• The extent of instability or erosion.
• Moisture levels and drainage conditions.
• Any contributing factors such as poor compaction or environmental changes.

Step 2: Developing a Stabilization Plan

Based on the assessment, we create a customized plan using one or more of the following methods:

• Chemical Stabilization: Adding agents like lime, cement, or fly ash to improve soil strength and cohesion.
• Mechanical Stabilization: Compacting the soil or introducing reinforcements like geogrids or geotextiles to enhance stability.
• Polyurethane Foam Injection: Filling voids and reinforcing the soil with expanding foam.
• Drainage Improvements: Managing water flow to prevent soil erosion and instability.

Step 3: Implementation

Using specialized equipment, we execute the stabilization plan:

• Treating or compacting the soil to increase its load-bearing capacity.
• Reinforcing the ground to prevent future movement or erosion.
• Ensuring the stabilized soil supports the foundation or construction requirements.

Step 4: Final Inspection

Once the stabilization is complete, we conduct a detailed review to ensure the soil meets structural standards. We also provide recommendations for maintaining soil stability over time.
